Their Polish sausage sandwich, loaded with mustard, grilled onions, and hot peppers, hits the spot every time. Pair it with their crispy fries, and you've got yourself a meal that'll keep you coming back. Plus, they're open 24/7, so whether it's late-night or early morning, you can satisfy those cravings. A combo like this usually sets me back around 7, making it both tasty and wallet-friendly. Highly recommend giving them a try next time you're in the area. ”
“ Great place to eat, always open and food is great and tasty and not too greasy. All sandwiches/hotdogs come with free fries. Staff when we went 4am was super friendly and even separated our food in different bags, without even asking :) ”
“ I have been coming here for almost 3 decades when I'm visiting the area. The best part here is they can split and grill your Polish Sausage which brings out the flavor from the center of the sausage. They also have an option to add their own homemade spicy mustard. Highly recommend it. They listen carefully to your specific instructions and they are very quick here. There is two places that compete on this street a few steps away from each other. Make sure you go to the one that says 'Express Grill', the polish sausage is better in my opinion. ”
“ Food was really good at a great price. Sketchy part of town. Has plenty of street parking, but no inside tables. Watermelon Italian ice was amazingly good. ”
“ The polish sausage was absolutely delicious! So were the fries! The sausage was very flavorful and warm and I would definitely recommend getting the grilled onions and mustard with it. Beware the hot peppers because they are quite hot. The sausages also came with fries already which was great since they are crispy on the outside, warm, and not dry. The guy was very nice and made sure to confirm which toppings we wanted and that we got the orders that we each wanted. Our orders came out very quick too! It was unfortunate that so many people were lined up at the other stand when there was no line at this one and the food is so good! The guys in the kitchen were just waiting for people to come by and instantly went to work once we ordered! Overall great experience! ”
